First off, I don't know if this is the right forum. On the one hand, it's TES, which means it doesn't belong here. On the other hand, it's not any of the games either. So I just dumped it here for now.

Anyway, I came across this bit of news while scanning the UESP for stuff on Wayrest.
the article on the Bethesda site

So yes, it looks like Bethesda is moving into the realm of paid fiction. On the one hand, they haven't mentioned much about the story. Some flying deathcity threatening Tamriel which sounds kinda awesome and kinda weird at the same time. And um...this was a bad day to remove levitation. How is the Imperial legion ever supposed to get up there and kick some behind? tongue.gif

One interesting bit the article notes...apart from the underage heroine and potentially equally underage prince. Ah, good old japanese rpg universes where everyone over twenty is too old to fight or do anything useful other than telling the teenage heroes where to go. Wait, I thought TES was a western rpg? huh.gif Hmm...I wonder if miss heroine will start out in prison. Come on, its tradition, just steal a sweetroll and surrender to the guards! I demand it!

But I'm moving off-topic. Anyway, one interesting bit the article notes is that apparantly, the Empire will not turn into a republic as a lot of people thought. At least not yet. Someone managed to get chosen to be emperor again. Though I hope it's not a Septim. Maybe a far relative but not a second unknown son please. Anyway, mr Keyes emperor will end up being canon I guess. Here's to hoping he'll be an Argonian. (probably not sad.gif I bet it's another Imperial.)

Oh, and the article called the Empire a kingdom. Funny mistake there. tongue.gif

From there on, it'll kinda go downhill.

Considering I don't care much anymore for BGS or anything related to them I can only find the parallel between Death Star and Tamriel amusing. This is a nice, refreshing way of selling bottled pee to hordes of loyal fanbois/gurls.
